Victory Day in Russia is rightly the most patriotic holiday. Millions of people march the streets of Russian cities on the 9th of May to pay tribute to those who fought for our country, our children, our future. The Great Patriotic War carried away the lives of 26,600,000 Soviet people. Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa was intended to invade the USSR within a few months, but the Germany attack was bogged down, and the Nazis had to face great bravery and self-sacrifice of Soviet soldiers.
The Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) is a part of WWII that was held predominantly on the territory of the Soviet Union between the USSR and Nazi Germany.
Among the most important WW2 dates are the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, which turned the course of the Second World War towards the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany. By defeating the Nazi invaders on its territory, the USSR played the decisive role in freeing the whole world from the deathly threat of fascism.
During the Victory Day parade on the Red Square in Moscow everyone can observe the power of the Russian army and feel the solidarity of the Russian people.
2nd World War is something that we must never forget. We must never forget the reasons why it started and never allow fascism raise its head again.
